or I can read the email okay right which one are we doing first Countryside properties correct yes okay this is an email from Barbara stubin who's uh the administrative assistant for Steve Gruenberg and it's dated May 2nd at 11:24 a.m this morning says addressed to me an Taylor and Jeff good morning unfortunately Mr grenberg has come down with a bacterial infection and is unable to attend the public hearing schedule for tonight on the above application he requests that the hearing be rescheduled to the first available meeting date without the need for further notice by the applicant this email Shall Serve as an extension of time through August 31 2024 for the board to act on the application should you have any questions please contact me thank you regards Barbara stubin pargal so um Taylor do you know when the next available date is um so I was just like thinking ahead because both applications are to be carried right the next available date is July 18th okay so I I explained to Barbara stubin called me and I explained to her it might not be for a while and they said it is what it is so um July 18 so why don't we make an announcement that for the countryside property application Board of adjustment case 05 2024 which the board chair described just before the hearing in this matter is going to be continued to July 18 2024 with no need for further notice meaning I reviewed the notice the content was acceptable I'm going to ask Taylor did you review the U the certified correct and they were in order correct okay so we'll declare that the board has procedural jurisdiction over the application but it's not going to be heard until July 18 2024 and let's ask Steve who's on are Steve are you here on Countryside properties tonight uh yes can you hear me yes so yes that application is being carried and continued without starting to July 18 2024 you're not going to get any further notice so mark it down in your calendar that if you want to either just listen or you want to participate or whatever I'll I'll listen it's just deja vu all over again it'll be July 18 2024 we also have some um in individuals in the public here are you here for Countryside so you're hearing the same thing it's going to be carried till July 18th you won't get notice please just mark it on your calendars and I'm goingon to make another suggestion since the hearing dates July 18 and they extended to August 31 and uh when were they deemed complete Tor Jeffrey can you check the April 2nd 2024 April so April second they were they were going to be heard within 30 days of being deemed complete and the board has 120 days to decide the application so normally the board May June July they the bo August to hear the application in any event so my suggestion is that tomorrow Taylor when you tell them that it's been continued journ to July 18 that we want an extension till October 31 because they were deemed complete very recently and they were going to be heard within 30 days so we want a commensurate extension to how much time has now been lost due to the fact that they can't go on tonight that's my suggestion is that all right with the chair yes sir so ask for October 31 if they have an issue with that you can tell them to call me how's that yes sir okay okay going to move to the next application okay boa case number 08-22-18 77 Highway 202 31 South applications for D variance for outdoor vehicle storage at existing storage facility you want to reread the same email yep so this this one same email same cont but this one's for hun in storage obviously case va8 2023 the chair just described it and identical email to the same people again dated today 11:26 a.m. good morning unfortunately Mr gromberg has come down with a bacterial infection and is unable to attend the public hearing schedule for tonight on the above application he requests that the hearing be rescheduled to the first available meeting date without the need for further notice by the applicant this email Shall Serve as an extension of time through August 31 2024 for the board to act on the application should you have any questions please contact me thank you Barbara stubin pargal so on this one Taylor or Jeff when does the board's time to decide this one run out oh I'm sorry I had already Jeff are you looking at that is that what you're doing yeah's a new deadline on it so it's difficult to see and there's there's been extensions I believe it's it would be based on the last 31st 2024 no read the last correspondence that Steve ever gave us I believe he gave us until the end of July John okay so again I'm gonna suggest again the board grant their request but ask for an extension out to October 31 because this is causing a uh substantial delay in the the board scheduling so um is that AC acceptable to the board chair yes okay so we'll make an announcement on Hunter and storage boa 08 2023 the hearing in this matter is going to be continued to July 18 2024 with no need for further notice the board previously um reviewed the notice and I advised they had procedural jurisdiction this has already carried it's going to be carried a second time again no need for further notice the hearing again July 18 2024 and again Taylor is going to ask when she tells him this an extension to October 31 2024 due to the delay in the hearing date hold on I I know when Taylor and I spoke this morning it might not go July 18th it might have to wait till August 1st because there was no because of the way the schedule already is we can't necessarily put them on the 18th they would have to go on August 1st we only have one meeting in July okay so look fine August 1st 2024 the hearing in this matter is going to be continued to August 1st 2024 not July 18th and again I'm going to suggest that the uh extension be October 31 the same date in any event again if that's okay with the chair yes okay so is there anyone in the public here on Hunter and storage Cynthia anyone there no no one's raising their hand for this okay wrote yep that's it no other business for the uh board we can um adjourn the meeting can I get a motion to adjourn uh one question from the uh from a resident of of the area over on Old York Road uh I understand the conversation around the table that the next possible meeting will be either August 1st or possibly October 31st no no no no on Country Side the hearing is going to happen on July 18th there's okay time within which the board has to decide an application what the board is going to do is they're going to ask that that time be extended from August 31 to October 31 that's all that means the matter will be 18th that the meeting it doe date is that correct that's correct that's all I need to know okay all right we had a motion to adjourn yes did we have a second a second roll call or just all in favor always say I anyone [Music] opposed okay all right everyone have a good evening bye Jim Bye by everybody yes it's on my calendar have a good night everybody okay all I'm leaving I I want to ask um two two things uh Lindsay would you
